| 2026 description: 'This trek begins in Ute Park with fantastic views of Baldy Mountain and the Cimarron River valley. Watch as the landscape and
ecosystems change dramatically as you hike over ridges separating Bear Canyon, Dean Canyon, and Ponil Canyon with
scenes that would fit well in any old western. In the Ponil country you'll have the opportunity to climb Hart Peak and explore all
of the history of this region: from pre-historic dinosaurs and petroglyphs to railroading, cowboy life, and the very beginnings of
Philmont Scout Ranch.' |
